And yet, as this Business Insider article claims, Texans assert their loyalty to — Heavens to Betsy — In-N-Out Burger. The wildly popular article which looked at the most popular fast food chain in every state in America, has received 7,149,570 views and counting.

"To determine the most popular fast-food chain in each state, Foursquare looked at which chains received the most visits on average per location in every state based on the total number of visits to each chain divided by the number of locations in that state," writes Megan Harney in the story's intro. Though Chick-fil-A reigned supreme across the country, In-N-Out Burger was the most popular spot in both Utah and — we're still gasping — Texas.

So how did this travesty happen? Well, first, the article relied on Foursquare data to rank its winners, which isn't exactly a fair metric of popularity. Second, it's worth noting that the controversial article was penned in November 2017, and Texans love for Whataburger may be different in the year 69 A.W. (69 years after Whataburger's establisment). Furthermore, and as Wide Open Country points out, Business Insider also shared a piece later in 2017 stating that Whataburger outsold In-N-Out Burger in Texas with 44% of the state's market compared to California-founded In-N-Out Burger's 26%.
